Somebody made a point in a thread that made me think a question

Why the fuck

Why in anything ever why

Would the Democratic party

Pick Hillary Clinton

Hillary Clinton the lesbian secretarian lunch lady hag

Over based Bernie

An actual passionate politician who cares about the well-being of the American people on their own individual level

He didn't want to suck up to the right wing billionaire class now ruling the country

The ones frolicking in their own gold from proxy wars and widespread societal demoralization

Soon AI as well

It's bull crap Bernie should have won 2016 and we all know he would have against Trump and his dumb supporters

Hillary on the other hand stood no chance because Trump was memed to all hell which made him win

Bernie still had respect and could have probably trolled Trump pretty good

Bernie could have been memed too maybe not to the level Trump was but he could have had a shot at getting somewhere close

Plus you would have just won from being a good guy and a good politician
>>
because when hillary shits her pants as president it's expected but when bernie does the same thing it makes the dems look even worse for electing someone who promised so much but inevitably failed to deliver. it's all about keeping expectations low.
>but what about obama
black people love obama
>>

Bernie was and still is an extremely competent and consistent politician
>>
>>85576486
that doesn't matter because presidency, while an executive role, depends on the rest of the administration to get the job done and no one is obligated to cooperate. hillary has more friends than bernie does so she would have a much easier time
>>
>>85576493
Hillary would have been a worse Obama with a focus on identity politics but it would still have been worlds better than Trump when it comes to economic policies and how the rest of the world respects us

Bernie would have created a Federal $15 minimum wage and something similar to universal healthcare that wasn't like Obamacare as well as a fuck ton more unions and influenced future elections when it comes to senators

As well as very early regulations on artificial intelligence and all the data center stuff

I don't think the dude really cared about anything identity politics related besides getting gay marriage to finally become a thing when that was important and in 2016 for transgenders to have their brain changing hormones so they could both shut up about it

He wanted to use his time to focus on issues that actually matter like the ones that were previously mentioned

he MIGHT have TRIED to do those things but they could just have easily not happened as they could have happened. both of those things are also optics nukes in terms of the status quo, which means you're more than likely guaranteeing a conservative victory next election to undo everything that was put into place. a big reason trump even got elected at all was to "undo" obama's legacy. hillary ain't even that bad a lot of it is just misogyny that people are for some reason otherwise blind to.
$15 min wage and single payer are still issues, they don't live and die with bernie

Hillary was a baddie when she was young tho
>>
>>85576541
ok... so what do you need advice on?
>>
>>85576521
Yeah Hillary isn't as bad as people make it her out to be due to the misogyny but her whole thing would have been about making a spectacle of the first female president ever and how they came such a long way with the cringe corporate art style or whatever

That would have very much pissed off lots of the chuds and guaranteed a trump victory

Had Bernie won at least he would have actually done some good things that people would benefit from even if some of those same people would have found something to complain about

Had he done enough to be able to win another 4 years I think all of those things would have definitely became reality

Especially if he was running against 2020 Trump who is starting to have his dementia eat away at him or a Mike pence which would have guaranteed his victory even more

>>85576545
The word baddie is cringe
>>
>>85576564
It's a heart word, not a brain word
>>
>>85576564
It's just brown hottie
>>
>>85576575
See hottie is acceptable baddie is just so cringe
>>
>>85576578
She was a baddie tho lowkey
>>
>>85576583
No not the zoomer talk anything but the zoomer talk
>>
>>85576479
Bernie was largely an outsider to the DNC and didn't bring in the kind of money Hillary did. The DNC needs funds and whoever brings the most calls the shots.
>>
>>85576511
>with a focus on identity politics
and Bernie wasn't your going to have to accept things like racial identity are just more popular with left wing voters than economic issues or that it at the very least is easier for politicians to focus on
